This is the story of a life in crisis, set in the world of high finance. At the age of twenty-eight, Dubliner Geri Molloy has put her troubled past behind her to become a major player at Steiner's investment bank in London, earning $850k a year doing business with a reclusive hedge fund manager in Hong Kong who, in return for his patronage, likes to ask her about Kant & watch while she eats exotic Asian delicacies. For five years Geri has had it all, but in the months leading up to the outbreak of the Gulf War in 1991, her life starts to unravel. Abandoned by her corporate financier boyfriend, in the grip of a debilitating insomnia, & drinking far too much, Geri becomes entangled in a hostile takeover involving her boss, her client & her ex. With her career on the line as a consequence, & no one to turn to, she is close to losing it, in every sense. Taut & fast-paced, On the Floor is about making money & taking risks; it's about getting away with it, & what happens when you're no longer one step ahead; ultimately, though, it's a reminder to never, ever underestimate the personal cost of success. ...

Maps fascinate us. They chart our understanding of the world & they log our progress, but above all they tell our stories. From the early sketches of philosophers & explorers through to Google Maps & beyond, Simon Garfield examines how maps both relate & realign our history, with pocket maps of dragons, Mars, murders & more, with plenty of illustrations & prints to signpost the route. His compelling narratives range from the quest to create the perfect globe to the challenges of mapping Africa & Antarctica, from spellbinding treasure maps to the naming of America, from Ordnance Survey to the mapping of Monopoly & Skyrim, & from rare map dealers to cartographic frauds. En route, there are 'pocket map' tales on dragons & undergrounds, a nineteenth century murder map, the research conducted on the different ways that men & women approach a map, & an explanation of the curious long-term cartographic role played by animals. On The Map is a witty & irrepressible examination of where we've been, how we got there & where we're going. " Delightful. If maps be the fuel of wanderlust, read on." From the foreword by Dava Sobel, author of Longitude. ...
